The event will be held Saturday, August 18th. This race is open to ALL!! Register for some family fun and team bonding!

There will be an individual or group challenge in 7 different communities including Woodstock, Hartland, Florenceville-Bristol, Centreville, Perth-Andover, Plaster Rock and Grand Falls.
